General comtmction of the adding machine.

Fig. 1 shows in a the. adding seceral way by .a frag-' mentary view anad ing machine and comis sup rted by the actuator shaft 625 (see Fig.The adding machine comprises the usual keyboard embodying a suitablenumber of rows of amount keys 29 which rows of keys may be duplicated toany desired extent, with their accom anying controllin instrumentalitieswhereby to increase the capacity of the machine in the well knownmanner. The accumulator of the adding machineis located at the front ofthe adding section A so that the registrations of the adding wheels maybe viewed through the observation openings a. The amount keys 29 controlthe indexing mechanism for the accumulating and printinginstrumentalities, in any well known manner, said indexing mechanism notbeing shown though the accumulating and printing devices are disclosedin a general way in Fig. 7 of the drawin As seen in Fig. 1, a number ofspecial feys are used in the keyboard section A, including a repeat keyhav ing the indicia R thereon; an error key with the indicia E thereon;a subtotal key with the indicia S thereon and designated by 136; a totalkey with the indicia T thereon and designated by 135: a paying sectiondisabling key designated 44 and marked Non-pay; and an accumulatordisabling key designated 154 and marked Non-add. Of these special keysthe repeat and error keys operate in any conventional manner not to bedescribed in detail, while the other keys 135, 136, 144 and, 154 have adouble function owing to the fact that they control characterization ofitems as well as perform the function for which each is especiallyprovided. The paying section of the machine incompletely illustrated atthe left in Fig. 1 comprises coin holders 1513 and 1514, suitableejectors 1307 being arranged to discharge coins from said holders andbeing disposed normally in inoperative positions in respect to ejectorarms 1307 carried by the ejector shaft C. At their rear ends theejectors 1307 have lateral pins or studs to enter notches in the arms1307' whereby to operatively connect the ejectors with the ejector shaft0 so that on rocking of the latter shaft a selected ejector or ejectorsmay be operated. The selection of the ejectors is accomplished by themeans generally shown in Figs. 1 and 11 from which it will be noted thatthe keys 29 are engageable with selectors 20 to render said selectorsoperative-on depression of saidkeys. The selectors are adapted to shiftthe ejectors 1307 into operative connection with the ejector arms 1307',durin the initial movement of the handle 501, the actuation of theselectors being accomplished by their depression to engage hooks 48 atone end of t e selectors with an operating bail 47 on a shaft iii whichis oparable from the handle shaft 625 through the medium of a lever 42and link 44 attached to an arm 45. This coiiperation of parts is fullypresented in the receding apgzllication to which reference as been ma e.

Disablement of paying mechanism.

When the non-pay key 144 is in its normal position, every time thehandle 501 is actuated for a transaction of the machine the movement ofthe handle shaft 625 is communicated to the ejector shaft 0 through themedium of a s ring retracted arm 49 carried by the sha t 625 andarranged to operate a bifurcated arm 54 on an auxiliary shaft 55. Theshaft 55 carries still another arm 56 located between the adding andpaying sections of the machine and a stud 66 on the arm 56 is normallyengaged by a hook 64 yieldingly held in such engagement by a spring 65(see Fig. 9}. The hook 64 is carried by an arm 63 on the ejector shait Cand above the hook 64 is an arm 908 sum ported by a stub shaft 908mounted in tie left frame or wall of the adding section A of themachine. On the inner end of the stub shaft'908 is carried another arm90? adapted to be depressed by a pin 60 which projects laterally fromthe lower end of the non pay key 144, the latter being held. up by aspring, 236. Obviously by depressing the key 144 the arms 90? and 908will be lowered and the latter will engage the hash: 6 1 and depress thesame sinlieiently tree 5 the stud 66 therefrom, whereby the motiontransmitted to the arm 56 from the shaf 39 will not operate the arm 63and the eie er shaft C supporting the same.

Accumulating and printing mechanism.

Since the accumulating and printing de vices are ractioall the same asin the a plication ereinbe ore identified they will only be referred toin a brief way with a view to establishing thoroughly the cocpera tionof the various mechanisms of the machine. Reference is made to Fig. 7wherein the accumulator is shown at D, being cartried by the shaft 482and having suitable addin wheels 311. The accumulator is shifta le ascustomary to engage its adding pinions with the adding racks 301, bymeans of the rod 327 which connects the accumulator with the three-armedcontrol lever 316. The lever 316 is adapted to be rocked differentially,so to speak, whereby to causethe addingpinions of the wheels 311 tobecome meshed with the teeth of the racks 301 at different times, inrespect to the excursions I of the racks, whereby to cause regularaccuspectively, the general coaction of the parts 301 and 311 being wellknown in this art. The movement of the lever 316 is efi'ected throughthe medium of an operating lever 508 carrying the roller 652 at its 11per end as well as the wi e pawl 511. The lever 508 is mounted on tlieshaft 626 and is moved through an intermediate connection with a cam 40carried by the shaft 625. In its movement with the lever 508 the wipepawl 511 is adapted to engage pins 469 on oppoite arms of the lever 316,under the control of a main total lever 902, and an auxiliary totallever 301, and also under the control of a sub-total lever 903. The arts901 and 902 are equivalent to a sing e total lever employed in themachine of the co-pencling application No. 702,164, and Letters PatentNo. 1,192,721 iwiecl July 25 1916, on a con tinuing application, themodification in this detail or: construction havin been made with a viewto facilitating clisab ement or the accumulate-r on the depression ofthe non-add key 15%. Gn the other hand, the sub-total lever actssubstantially the same as in the previous machine above referred to. The

.1 cperaticn of these parts in the ser- LCF: of the new functionsobtains in iserermined time during the movement oi the main actuator ofthe machine.

The ce carriers 723 and the adding connected. together hy means 1elevers 500 so that the mover e1? parts is controlled by the increasingwhen the latter has been set by de reasing the keys his eneral operationof type carriers and adding racks is the same broadly as in all Barronhs type adding machines. As the handle s aft 625 ismoved, the movementis transmitted through the earn 50 and flexible connection 40* to thelever 508 which is mounted on the shaft 626 (see Figfl}. The shaft 626carries the arms 612 that move therewith and these arms 612 coact withresent invention will be set forth here connected with arms 500"projecting from the levers 500 rock the now release levers and cause thesame to move the adding racks 301 downward and raise the type'carriers723 in the usual manner.

The special type cmw'er.

In addition to the regular ty e carriers 723 previously referred to,there is provided a special type carrier 734 (see Figs. 2, 3, 4, 7 and8). The type carrier 7 34 is vertically yieldable and quite generallythe same in construction as the carriers 723 except in respect to thenumber of type, five only of the latter being employed and havin thecharacters shown quite lainly in Fig. 6, namely a letter P for caracterizing each paid item, as for instance 934,128-P; a letter T forcharacterizing a grand total, as for example 347,899-1; a letter S tocharacteri'ze a sub-total, thus, 256,438-S; a letter E for designatingeach eliminated item set up in the machine, in this manner: 281473-15;and finally a double character E 1 to be printed for items which are notaccumulated but which represent amounts paid out, as for example478,825-E 1?. Of course the items which are not added will not becarried in the totals, this havin 29E dg yith the characterizations E anA special indexing device is employed for indexing the special typecarrier 734 for the printing of any one of its types, and for indexingsaid type carrier in a position wherein a blank type 734 is opposite thehammer 700 that coiiperates with the type carrier 734, under whichconditions no characterization of the item set up in the machineisalforded. Non-characterized items will therefore be understood to bethose ordinarily accumulated during the normal operation of the addingmachine when used independently of the paying mechanism.

The special indexing device mentioned comprises a sector 727 rovidedwith six notches corresponding with the characterization and blank typesof the carrier .734. On the carrier 734 is a pin 847 capable of engagingwith the sector 727 at an of the notches formed in, the latter, a dierential movement of the special carrier734 being CJDGIOllBd by merelyvarying the position ofthe sector 727 in an obvious manner. The movementof the sector 727 is controlled by the several special keys 135, 136,144 and 154 in a manner which will now be set forth in detail.

Sub-total characterization operation-J79. 8.

Bearing in mind the relative arrangement of the character types on thespecial type carrier 734, as disclosed by Fig. 6, a depres sion of thesub-total key 136 causes 8. lug 1 ofl'standing from said key to engageand depress a lever 159 fixed on the shaft 230 tion type Sof the same isopposite the hammer 700 in position for printing the subtotal character,the pin or stud 847 of the carrier 734 having permitted four incrementsof movement of the carrier upward in the positioning 0 ration. Theprinting of each character oFthe type carrier 734 is accomplishedsimultaneously with the printing of the items, and by the same printingmechanism as is used for the latter, as before premised. A spring 852 isutilized to hold the sector 727 in contact with the stud 227 of the am158 and said spring also normalizes the shaft 230 and the membersthereon, the movement under such conditions being governed by engagementof the arm 158 with a shaft 293. a

Grand total characterizing 0pe'ration- Fig. 8.

The characterization of grand totals is controlled by the total key 135in a manner similar to the control of the sub-total characterization bythe corresponding key 136. When the total key 135 is operated for thetakin of a regular total from the machine, a stu 271 on said key engagesa cam 166 of a horizontally slidable link 133 and forces said linklongitudinally toward the rear of the machine. The link 133 is connectedat 133' to a depending arm 132 on the shaft 262 and the arm 132 15adapted to impinge a stud 225 carried by an arm 155 which is also fixedon the shaft 230. It will therefore be apparent that the shifting of thelink 133 rearwardly by the key 135 oscillates the shaft 230 and sets theindex sector in the same manner as affected by the sub-total ke exceptonly that "the movement of the shaft 230 is less and therefore t e thirdnotch of the sector 727, co nting downwardly, will be indexed forengagement by the stud 847 and the characterization type T will be Theitm allm'actemzing operationrfiig. 2. In this figure the indexing sector727 and certain directly associated parts; are illusthe key 144 theadding machine operates in-.

dependently of the paying mechanism, practicall as an ordinary addingmachine, and at this time the items rinted in the machine will benon-characterized owing to the fact that the special type carrier 734will be indexed by the sector 727 occupying its dotted line position inFig. 2 and maintaining the hammer 700 opposite the blank type 734' ofsaid carrier. This action of the machine. it will be understood, issecured by the depression of the ke 144 to the dotted line osition ofFig. 2. en said key 144 is re eased, however, so as to move into itsfull line position the stud 210 engages the arm 156 of the shaft 230,and oscillates said shaft, thereby movin the arm 158 which carries thestud 227, upward one increment of movement. This movement of the arm 158sets the indexing sector 727 to its full line position of Fig. 2,permitting the type carrier 734 to have a single increment of movement11 ward in the printing 0 oration whereby the ammer 700 will strike t echar acter type P. In this way the upraised po sition of the key 144rendering the paying mechanism operable causes an adjustment of theindexing sector that will characterize the items with the character P solong as the said position ofthe non-pay key 144 is maintained and solong as the non-add key 154 also remains undepressed.

Eliminated and paid item charactefieing operatio'm-Fig. 3. A depressionof the non-add key 154 causes a stud 228 on said key to enga e the arm155 fixed on the shaft 230 there y oscillating the shaft and elevatingthe arm 158 in gage the uspermost of the notches of-the representamounts paid out by the paying mechanism. Under these conditions, ofcourse, the non-pay key 144 is upraised and the machine is operating asa combination tions shown in Fig. 3

paying and adding machine, with the e!- ception that the accumulatlngmechanism is inactive.

Eliminated item characterizing operation- Fig. 4.

Assuming that the parts are in the posiif it is desired to operate theadding machine alone, by which is meant independently of the payingmechanism, and at the same time render the accumulator of the addinmachine inactive, the non-add key 154 wi 1 remain depressed as shown inFig. 3 but the nonay key 144 will be depressed, whereas in t e positionsof the parts in Fig. 3, said key 144 was u raised. Referrin to Fig. 4 itwill be 0% served that the repression of the non-pay key 144 causes thestud 210 above mentioned to engage the cam surface on an arm 161 whichis fixed to a shaft 229. A short arm 229 on the shaft 229 is connectedto a spring 229 which tends to turn said shaft and cer tain arms fixedthereto, in a contra-clockwise direction. The shaft 229 is in this wayoscillated, being sup or ted in hearings in the side plates 123. aidshaft 229 has another arm 162 in a position to engage the stud 227 ofthe arm 158 and the movement of the key 144 causes this particularengage ment in such a manner as to force the arm 162 downward to anextent permitting one increment of movement outward to the sec tor 727,the latter res ending to the action of the spring 852. he movement ofthe arm 162downward, as above described, imparts corresponding movementto the arm 158, stretching the spring 211 which oonnects the arm 158with the arm 157', the latter parts being seen best in Fig. 8. in thisway the sector 727 is positioned so that the second from the topmostnotch of the sector will engage the stud 847 to position the specialtype carrier 7 84 for action oi the hammer 700 on the second from thelower most type which has the eliminated item characterization E.

The discontinuance of the operation oi the accumulator is efiected bydieenga ing the adding pinions of the wheels 311 Tom the racks 301before said racks start to return upward, and reference is to he had toFig. 7 in this particular connection. When the non-add key 154 isdepressed a stud 217 fixed on the slide 160 engages the lever 901 whichas previousl mentioned is the auxiliary total lever. he leven901 is thusoscillated about its pivot 1081 so as to assume the position shown indotted lines in Fig. 7. When in such position it will be appar" ent thatthe wipe pawl 511 which was previously and is normally held out of ongoment with both of the studs 469 on the ower arms of the lever 316 willnow engage with the right hand of said studs so that on the returnstroke of the machine the addin pinions, having been brought into meshwit the racks 301 will be forced out of mesh with said racks, allowingthe latter to return to normal position without performing their re ularadding operation. ,The con trol of t e accumulator D by the total key135 is practically the same in the present machine as in respect to themachine of the hereinbefore identified application because as the totalkey 135 is lowered the stud'135' thereon strikes the total lever 902 andthe latter depresses the front end of the auxiliary lever 901 owing tothe fact that the latter has a laterally bent ln 7 extending beneath thelever 902. In ct er words, so far as the operation of the total key 135is concerned, afiectin the parts 901 and 902, these parts might ust aswell be unitary or integral, their separation into two levers being madesolely to afford an independent action of the lever 901 under theinfluence of the non-add ke 154. A spring 1055 connected with the fi'ont end of the lever 901 tends to hold the latter in the full lineposition of Fi 7 with the surface 5 on the rear end of the ever in thepath of the wipe pawl 511. Lever 902 is also returned to its normalposition by the spring 1055.

Amount release and total key lock mchoniem.

- ation of the shaft 230 in t e manner before described through themedium of the arm 155. The movement of the arm 155 causes the arm 156 ofshaft 230 to move over the stud 208 on the non-add key so as to preventthe return or normalizing of said key until after the shaft 280 'isreleased, but the shaft 230 is retained in its oscillated position by alever 159 which has a curved arm 159' adapted to e lowering a sh e 160mounted on suitable members 160' on the plate 123. The is locked down bya lug on the locking arm 164 which is loose on the shaft 261,"sa1d lugengaging over a lug 3 on the slide 160.

In the ordinary operation of the machine on the axis 470. This causesthe inions of the accumulator D tomesh with adding takes place at theend of which go over stud 216, thereby racks 301 which are in theirlowermost position at this time. On the return stroke of the handle theregular addin operation e accumulating section is thrown out of meshwith the adding racks 301 by engagement of the roller 652 with the camsurface of the left arm of the lever 316, in a manner which will beclearly understood by those versed in this art.

Adjacent to the front end of the link 133 there is located the slide 133which is longer than the distance between the studs 271, 271 on thetotal and sub-total keys respectively. The slide 133 has a cam 166 atits front end and a cam extension 166 at its rear end, the latterinclining oppositely to the cam 166 of the link 133.

Owing to the length of the slide 133 the total key 135 and sub-total key136 cannot be simultaneously fuliy. depressed as the cams 166 and 166form abutments reventing this action. When, however, t e total key isdepressed the stud 271 acts on both the cam 166 and cam 166 movin thelink 133 and slide 133 rearward toget er to set the sector 727 forproper characterization, said slide 133 bein positioned with its camextension 166 capa 1c of preventing de ression of the sub-total keywhile the tota key is down.

In like manner, if sub-total key 136 be deressed the slide 133 will bemoved forward ringin its front end cam 166 below stud 2710f t e totalkey and" preventing the latter from being depressed while the sub-totalkey is down. Under these conditions it is rendered impossible while thesub-total key 136 is depressed to depress the total key and therebyeffect a total characterization.

The amount keys are adapted to be rleased by operation of the total key135 or the sub-total ke 136, or the correction or error key 137. seen inF ig. 13, when the total key 135 is depressed the catch 134 fixed on theshaft 261 1s rocked inward, see also Fi 14, until the nib of the catchenters the loc opening at the lower end of the key to hol t latter inits depressed position. This rocking of the catch 134 causes a releaseof the various amount keys owing to the fact that the catch 134 engagesat its lower end with the key release bar 128 sliding the lattertransversely of the keyboard,

of which are shown at 126 in Fig. 12. This operation is quite similar tothat employed m the machine of the Letters Patent previously referredto.
